I don’t (and won’t) normally post items for sale like this, but this one deserves a special mention.
The Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 Macro APO-Lanthar SL (Nikon Mount) is one of the rarest and most elusive lenses out there – in fact, this is the first time I’ve seen one for sale in the United States. There were very, very few of these made across a variety of different mounts. Voigtlander produced them along with the much more common 90/3.5 APO-Lanthar and the 180/4 APO-Lanthar, the latter of which is also quite rare.
Not only are these lenses difficult to find, but they are absolutely outstanding performers; the 180/4 is truly apochromatic and insanely small for its focal length. The 125/2.5 is also apochromatic, a little over a stop faster, and focuses to a full 1:1 macro.
Robert’s Camera (aka UsedPhotoPro when referring to their used department) has one on sale for $2,000 in excellent condition with the original hood (which are not easy or cheap to find) and box. Included is a six-month warranty.
